Formerly African in appearance, the creature that now
calls herself Bloodthorn shows little sign of her
ancestry, appearing as a red and green thorned creature
with a fantastic carapace of dark green hardwood decorated with enormous thorns
that extend up to a yard long when fully extended, and tapering to a blood-red
and even a near-black at their tips, shining with an exotic venom chemically
similar to curare. Even worse, some of the shorter horn like thorns on her
shoulders, forehead and back are hollow, serving as homes to a swarm of venomous
flying insects, sharing traits of both wasps and beetles, but like no species
known to terrestrial entomology. The swarm seems to be somehow generated within
her form, and even if the insects are wholly eradicated, a new swarm may well
be gestated to replace those lost within the many nests encompassing her body.
She never speaks in combat (and rarely in any event), moving like a silent
reaper through her foes, their blood seeping into her dark green skin, perhaps
absorbed to fuel her inhuman metabolism.

Narcosis is a slender East Indian, laid-back and wearing
diaphanous gowns of sheer white cotton, decorated with flower petals. She is
often barefoot, or at most, clad in sandals, and wears necklaces, hair-braids
and / or bracelets of carved wood, natural seeds, or dried flowers, as well as
woven vines and actual fresh flowers. She always has a poppy flower in her
hair, tucked into her gown or even woven together as a form of belt with many
other poppy flowers, leaving one behind wherever she goes, as a sort of calling
card. She goes by the name 'Poppy' more commonly than her 'super' name of
Narcosis, which she doesn't take seriously. She doesn't share the angry
speeches of her 'sister' Sequoia, nor the cold silence
of the cruel Bloodthorn, but instead always seems to
have a distant smile on her face, as if the nature of humanity is nothing more
than a source of mild amusement to her. Even in the face of danger, she shows
little concern, although she can move quickly when need be. If hurt, she looks
genuinely surprised, as if she hadn't realized that this game was real, and
could have real consequences, and it seems likely that she is spending the
majority of her waking life in a narcotic-induced fantasy thanks to her powers.
Otherwise, she generally laughs softly and tip-toes her way through combat,
acting all the part like a perpetually wasted hippy 'flower-child,' only
lacking any of the western turns of phrase or stoner paraphenalia
that are commonly associated with the '60s daytrippers.
Her gowns can appear in any color, but most commonly are simple white, as the
poppies and other wild-flowers she adorns herself with, as well as her dark
eyes, skin and hair, provide enough color. Rarely she will 'dress up' in a
similar gown in pastel shades of red, orange or yellow, making sure that the
poppies and other flowers she chooses offset those colors.
